Lynching at Carlisle, Ky.
tiulirllleCourisr-Journsl—Extract.
When the gate of the cell w here the
prisioner, John Breckinridge (colored),
against whom is the serious charge of
rape upon Miss Nannie Berry, was con-
lined, was opened, it i) said that the cul
prit was lying as if dead, and a colored
brother-prisoner said: “He’s not dead,
but only ’posauming,” when he was has
tily led out amid a few stout, grum and
dare-devil cheers, and arm-in-arm with
two stalwart men, strongly guarded in
front, rear and the flanks, quickly
marched to Carlisle’s favorite hanging-
placo, a bridge across Brushy Fork, on
the Jookstown pike, a quarter of a mile
from the city limits ; and here on the
bridge, amid the mob and vast crowd of
eager spectators, in response to a call for
a speech, the prisoner in a low and boy-
i)h voice stated that he was innocent of
the charge, and said that the crime was
committed by Mort Robinson, a fellow-
companion, who, by the way, was able
to prove an alibi by substantial witness
es. It was thus that John Brecken-
ridge was pushed from a beam of the
bridge with his hands pinioi.'ed behind
him and a white cotton rope around his
neck, and ushered into eternity with a
lio upon his lips and made to dance the
round dances in the air in a whirligig
ntyle, without music or a partner.
He foil with a very light thud, his
stature being low and body very spare,
perhaps 130 pounds in weight; the rope
made no fidrlle-string-like sound, and
those who did not see the shove-off,
didn’t know tho performance had com
menced. He quickly released his
bands, and was about to climb the rope,
but was drawn up tho second time and
dropped, and, with neck broken and
twisted rope, he once more spun in tho
*ir, and the pulsations were observed
from time to time until he was pro
nounced dead, and the mob very quietly
dispersed, and the culprit left to swing
m a sad yet demonstrative warning that
* ™ u gn-shod, retributive justice will
overtake all imitators of John Breckin-
tmge, colored, who came from Hender-
ITtk w ho had but recently attempt-
u ,® ?K tra 8 e °f a colored woman near
North Middletown.

Prince Louis Napoleon’s Prayer
Tho Sun.
A prayer in the hardwriting of the
Prince Imperial has been found among
the papers in his desk at Camden Place.
It is published by the Morning PoEt,
which adds: “The elucidation of his
high character alone justifies the publi-
catin of a sacred document, which will
prove to the world how intimately he
was penetrated with all the feelings
which most become a Christain, and
which give higher hopes than are afford
ed by the pains and perils of this transi
tory life. The following is a transla
tion :
“My God: I give to Thee my heart,
but give to me faith. Without faith
there is no strong prayer, and to pray is
a longing of my soul. I pray not that
Thou shouldst take away the obstacles
of my path, but that Thou mayst per
mit me to overcoome them. I pray not
that Thou shouldst disarm my enemies,
but that Thou shouldst aid me to con
quer myself. Hear, 0 God! my prayer.
Preserve to my affeotion those who are
dear to me. Grant them happy days.
If Thou only givest on this earth a cer
tain sum of joy, take, 0 God 1 my share,
and bestow it on the most worthy, and
may the most worthy, be my friends.
If Thou seekest vengeance upon man
strike me. Misfortune iB converted into
happiness by the sweet thought that
those whom we love are happy. Hap
piness is poisoned by the bitter thought,
while I rejoice those whom I love a
thousand times better than myself are
suffering. For me, 0 God I no more
happinesss. Take it from my path. I
can only And joy in forgot'ing the past.
If I forgot those who are no more, I
shall be forgotten in my turn, and how
sad the thought that makes one say,
‘Time effaces all.’ The only satisfaction
seek is that which lasts forever, that
which is given by a tranquil conscience.
O my Goa! show me every where my
duty lies, and give roe strength to ac
complish it always. Arrived at the
term of my life, I shall turn my looks
fearlessly to the past. Remembeance
will not be for me a long remorse.
Then I shall bo happy. Grant, O God!
that my heart may be penetrated with
the conviction that those whom I love,
and who are dead, shall see all my
actions. My life shall be worthy of
their witness, and my innermost
thoughts shall never make them blush.’’
A Field for Cheap-Cake Conway.
Life among the Fall river mill op-
eratives is pictured by the Boston Her
aid as a round of drudgery. They live
in crowded and .often cheerless tene
ments, although the common laws of
health are not generally disregarded,
and some of the homes are beautified
with pictures, carpets and flowers. Men,
women and children work together in
the mills, and the home is little more
than a lodging in most cases. The
wives and mothers are bound to a per
petual slavery. They work as hard as
anybody in the mill, and when the mill
day is over, their duties become terri
bly onerous. Upon reaching home sup
per iB to be swallowed, and then, while
the rest of the family find rest or recre
ation, all there is of housekeeping is
performed by the wife, occasionally as
sisted by her children, if they are old
enough. There will be no time next
morning for cooking breakfast, and it
must be looked out for over night. Din
ner is to be taken to the mill, and its
substantial materials mast be cooked
during the evening. While the kettle
is bubbling, or the frying-pan sizzling,
or the oven baking, or all together are
sending out their heats, the washing of
the bed and personal clothing for the
household may be performed, the old
man’s trousers mended, or the chil
dren’s clothes made or repaired. If one
of the brood is sick it may also receive
attention at the same time. The wife
and mother thus toils for her family,
living a life ths like of which no South
ern slave ever dreamed about. Intem
perance too commonly adds its sorrows
to the rest.—Pittsburg Post.
The Pennsylvania Democrats
Harrisburg, July 10.—The Demo
cratic State Convention met and organ
ized here to-day. The opera-house was
about half filled with dolegateB. Reso
lutions were adopted favoring the sub
ordination of the military to civil au
thorities in all things, and denying the
right of the Federal Government to
maintain the army to be used for polit
ical purposes, demanding a free ballot,
asserting the fraudulent nature of Hayes’
election and denouncing his abuse of
the veto power as an insult and menaoe
to the country. The financial plank
favors a currency of gold and silver and
of paper convertible into coin. The
platform also opposes all subsidies and
appropriations by the Government for
other purposes than the public service,
and promises protection and support to
labor, and charges tho bankrupt condi
tion of the State finances to the mis
management of the Republican party.
D. B. Barr, of Alleghany, was nominated
for State treasurer by acolamation, and
the convention adjourned siite die.
The last Missouri Legislature passed
a law making it a felony for any officer
of a bank to accept deposits in the m-
stitution if he knows it to be m a fail
ing condition,, and imposing tho same
punishment a9 that for stealing money.
Under this statute several St. Louis
bankers are to be tried.
The Nation on Governor Cham
berlain.
Prom tho Nation, July l«th.
The Fourth of July oration has been
a source of trouble in Springfield, Mass.,
where the committees invited Mr. Dan
iel H. Chamberlain, some time ago
Governor of South Carolina. The se
lection was an unfortunate one for di
vers well known reasons, but Mr.
Chamberlain had the good taste to
avoid stalwart matters and confine
himself to reflections in which men of
all parties could concur. The Spring-
field Republican very properly objected
strongly to the choice of the committeee
for reasons, among others, drawn from
the history of Chamberlain’s official
career in South Carolina. This drew
forth s Offense of him from Mr. M. P.
Knowlton, which is a curiosity in its
way, viz: That he was a “very young
man” (33) when elected Attorney-Gen
eral; that he behaved well when Gov
ernor in 1875 and 1876; and that the
thefts and frauds of the commissions
on which he served were known before
he was elected Governor. The infer
ence here suggested is that the constitu
ency which elected Moses, when “speak
er and thief,” to be “Governor and pub
lic robber” (New York Times), would
not have elected Chamberlain had they
believed him guilty of complicity iu
the Soott-Kimpton frauds. The Spring-
field Republican, we see, makes no
mention of Chamberlain’s published
letters to Kimpton and others, whioh
are all but conclusive evidence against
him, and the authenticity of which he
has not dared to deny. In fact, the
efforts of the party,to keep him afloat as
a martyr are an odious reminiscence of
of one of the most disgraceful episodes
in political history.
The Creed fox a Farmer.
The agriculturists of Canada met in
convention not long ago and adopted
for themselves the following creed:
We believe in small farms and thor
ough cultivation.
e believe the earth- loves to eat as
well as the owner, and ought, therefore,
to be well manured.
We believe in going to the bottom of
things, and, therefore, in deep plowing,
and enough of it. All the better if it
be a subsoil plow.
We believe in large crops which leave
land better than they found it, making
both the farm and farmer rich at once.
We believe that every farmer should
own a good farm.
We believe that the fertilizer of any
soil is a spirit of industry, enterprise
and intelligence; without these, lime,
gypBum and guano will be of little use.
We believe in good fences, good farm
houses, good orchards, and good chil
dren enough to gather the fruit.
We believe in a clean kitchen, a neat
wife in it, a clean cupboard, a dairy,
and a clear conscience.
We believe that to ask a man’s advice
is not stooping, but of muoh benefit.
We believe that to keep a place for
everything, and everything in its place,
saves many a step, and is pretty sure to
lead to good tools and keeping them in
order.
We believe that kindness to stock,
like good shelter, is a saving of fodder.
We believe that it is a good thing to
keep an eye on experiments, and note
all, good and had.
We believe that it is a good rule to
sell grain when it is rsady.
Success in the Stock Harket.
Few people understand how large
fortunes are amassed so rapidly in
stock operations. Messrs. Lawrence &
Co., bankers, N. Y., have just published
“two unerring rules for success,” and
full details, so that any one can operate.
Mailed free. Their new combination
system of dealing in stooks is wonder
fully profitable. By this method thou
sands of orders, in various sums, are
pooled into one immense capital, and
co-operated as a mighty whole, thus se
curing to each shareholder all the ad
vantages of vast capital and best skill.
Profits divided every 30 days. $15
would make $75 profit, $100 would re
turn $1,000, or 10 per cent, on the stock
in the month, and so on, according to
the market. A New York fashion ed
itreas and prominent newspaper corre
spondent made over 375 per cent, profit
on an investment, Ootober 5tb, 1878.
Many others are doing as well or bet
ter. Large or small amounts can be
used with equal proportionate success
by this system. All kinds of stocks
and bonds wanted. Government bonds
supplied. Apply to Lawrence & Co,
banters, 57 Exchange Place, New York

We asked a girl what she wanted
most, and she said, “A lover.”
We asked a wife what she wanted
most, and she said, “Kind words from
my husband, and children to bear hiB
name.”
We asked a boy what he wanted, and
he said, “A sweetheart and a happy
home.”, ,,
We asked a miser what he wanted
most, and he replied, "Gold, give me
more gold.”
W« asked a gadding woman what
she wanted, and she replied, “Dress,

We asked a mother what she wanted,
and she said, “I want my darliags to
